The ownership group emphasised that Chelsea supporters remain “the heart of this Club” and its “true custodians for over 120 years,” adding that while they hold the responsibility of ownership, “this will always be your Club.”

Success on the pitch was described as the top priority, with a commitment to competing for the Premier League and other major trophies while strengthening the club commercially to support consistent investment in the team.

The group also reaffirmed its focus on long-term infrastructure plans.
